Want to watch a couple of the South Park kids all grown up? Here you go! It's fun to watch Matt and Trey in this live action (unrelated to South Park) comedy, but if you're a fan, you can easily spot the similarities. Especially when Trey Parker performs his best Eric Cartman in a clutch psych out.
If you haven't seen it, Baseketball is about a couple of losers who invent a cool new game that takes the sporting world by storm. It's a hoops shooting game that uses baseball rules, kinda like horse but so much cooler. With the existing sports leagues (NFL, NHL, MLB, etc) too fixated on winning big and getting paid, a new sport like this is refreshing. Too bad something like this doesn't exist... it seems like your "every man" type of game. And who doesn't want the chance to get famous playing a game that doesn't require you to break a sweat?
Anyway, if you've ever been irritated by overpaid sports players, this movie is one to see. Some moments are a bit corny or overly slapstick (i.e. the hospital debacle) but overall, it's a lot of fun.

I always thought this movie deserved better than it got. More people need to seek this one out. DUDE!
